Hi Lucas, Your article was the first thing I read on LRH. I found it of great interest, thank you. Sealsniper answered a question ,on another subject, for me a couple of months ago and I can't find it now. You or anyone reading this may be able to answer my query. To Wit...

Hello, This is my first post, I hope I have chosen a location for my question that is appropriate. As Some of you may remember, I am building a .270. My goal is to bag my first antelope with it. My question: I saw a spotting scope on Amazon, 60X, for 38.00. My concerned range...

Thank You, this is very good information for a newbie like me. I hate being a niggler, but alas, that's exactly what I am. If You Here My Shot Your NOT My Target If You Hear My Shot You're NOT My Target Fairly good English. If You Hear My Shot You Were Not My Target Proper...

He asked me not to start a thread with my questions about long range hunting and shooting and the guns with which to do it, but use this and similar threads already up. Thanks, Downright Dave

Hi Schwabdog, Would you be so kind as to educate me on your statement, "I personally wouldn’t like a Savage ACCu trigger for LR shooting Just me." Please go into detail, if you would. ________ Thanks, Downright Dave FWIW...

"...they start out slower than more conventional projectiles but more than make up the difference later. "__________________ And THAT"S what I find so fascinating about the realities of long range hunting and shooting.

Feenix, I was asked by the admin NOT to start a thread pertaining to the topics about which I inquired.

Hi Feenix, After reading the Rules, I see my last post was forbidden, as it was political. I apologize to you Feenix and to the Members. I would delete it if I knew how. Thank You, Downright Dave

Hi Feenix, Then my question becomes; What does MKV mean? I like your quotes, even though, as I mentioned, mine are different. I did my radio show* today entitled, "When and Where We Lost Our Democracy" The show consisted of a somewhat in- depth analysis of Shay's Rebellion and it's direct...

Hi Pistol Packer, Or whoever knows. What does 270 MKL mean? Thank you, Downright Dave

Hi Pistol Packer et al, I will locate and read Po Ackley. I like a man who is willing to think and then go outside the box when it is a resultant necessity created by that thinking. To all of you, I want to state, "My overriding interest is gun design, the Long Range Capabilities are a new...

Thanks, Feenix. I voted for "Freedom" and "Guns". I didn't vote on the money issue, because TPTB have arranged it so that to make money, we often have to do the wrong thing. I am only proud of my country when she does the right thing. Lately, we've been making war on the wrong people, IMHO...

How do I start a thread? Here is what opened my eyes: The Merits of the .270 Chuck Hawkes wrote an article saying that, not only was the .270 Win. one of the flattest shooting of the game cartridges, it had less recoil, less muzzle blast, and ammunition cost much less...

Hi, Thanks for getting back to me. Your "G-Day" makes me ask, are you "Strine"? Your answer makes perfect sense to me, it's simply that I've only been introduced to LRH a week ago and every thing is new to me about the subject* I design specialized wheel chairs for a living and work on...

Hi All, I arrived a Long Range Hunting when I googled, "Chamber Pressure" See my post telling about the .270 I am building. It is a couple of posts back. I want to learn as much about Long range Rifles as quickly as possible. Please explain why the reviewers give the Savage trigger such high...
